Two Things, Probably Only Funny To Me

by Will Carroll

1. Bob Timmerman noted that Randy Johnson has 104 10+ strikeout games as a Diamondback. It surprised me more that Johnson had started 100 games for the Deutschebanks, let alone had that many great ones. I regularly find that I overestimate how much someone is injured, probably because I'm talking/asking/writing about them so much when they are cuffed up.

2. We're taking on a new batch of interns and in one of the resumes, I noted "Leland Stanford Junior University." Umm, is that like a Junior College where they prep 'em for the big school? No, that's the actual full name of the school most of us just call Stanford, named after the son of the governor and railroad tycoon that founded the school.

Bonus item: I'm prepping an updated Laminated List with what could be the most entertaining post ever (by me) at Juice. If there's someone you think should be considered, drop 'em in comments.

#2 - I knew that! But did they really but LSJU on the resume?

JW -- they really did. It's one of the most formal resumes I've ever seen. It's almost as if it was written in 1925 or something. Amazingly qualified, but quirky. The guy's either a complete bonkers or a complete genius, so it will be a fun interview.

3 - Ask him about the poisoning of Jane Stanford. Good story!

Ask him about the best player in the AL and fellow alum, Carlos Quentin.

I thought people only called it LJSJU when they wanted to mock it (and the people who attend it). Shocking that an alumnus would put that on the resume.

Will, don't put Jenn on there like last time. The laminated list is only for women that you've never met, have barely a hope of meeting, and will likely never cross paths with more than once.

Your lady won't give you a pass on her best friend, or someone you are already acquainted with.
